I searched and found tons on the manual knob removal, but I havent found anything to confident on removing the AUTO shift knob from my cherokee.

Its a 2000 Cherokee Sport, and I need to reuse the knob after removing it, so I don't want to destroy it. Anyone have any ideas/references? Thanks!

Grab it. Pull it. Hit yourself in the face or bounce your knuckles off the dash after it comes free. Next time you do it remember to put it in 1-2 or 3 to avoid step 3.

Maybe a blow dryer then. I tried your approach, even with a dead blow and a adjustable wrench...The bolts for the suspension came right out, I cant imagine this should be as hard as it is.....will try again


Thanks for the advice on step 3 too...Its fight club in the driveway...

It's always tight the first time...



That may be your problem, no problems with the suspension bolts being rusted. You've got to pay in blood to work on these at some point

I'm trying to pull mine as well. Is there any way to tap up on it using a rubber mallet to avoid getting punched in the face? I haven't tried yet, just wondering.

Wouldn't it be wicked to have worked in the jeep factory and used super glue on one out of every hundred shifter knobs you install - just sowing the seeds for decades of future mayhem?

I have heard of a mercedes having mysterious rattles that could never be found, turned out it was a few extra bolts just on the inside of the door, from the factory.
